automation is not running

[hindseb]

This is related to the blueprint: auto_update_scheduled.yaml

Hi, Thank you for creating the blueprint. I highly appreciate the efforts in creating it.

I created automation based on the blueprint. It is triggered, but it is not running.

It is stopped at the 3rd condition.

When checking the traces (see below), I believe the trigger status is swapped. It is from "on" to "off". Should it not be from "off" to ''on"?
How can this be changed? Is this something that needs to be updated in the blueprint?

Best, Sebastian

If you go to Developer Tools > Status and look for your schedule (schedule.auto_update_schedule?), what is this status?

Could you please share your automation's yaml formatted as code?

I'm using this exactly same version and it is working fine with me, so it is probably something in your settings.

Hi, thanks for looking into it.

The status of the schedule is currently 'off'. (8:50pm)
The schedule is set up to become 'on' at 3am every day for 30min.
(Also, the automation is triggered when it returns to 'off' at 3.30am)

My automation's yaml is:
- id: '1678241096997' alias: Update_Auto Home Assistant on a schedule base description: '' use_blueprint: path: edwardtfn/auto_update_scheduled.yaml input: restart_bool: true schedule_entity: schedule.auto_update_schedule actions_pre_update: - service: notify.mobile_app_iphoneseb data: message: Updates are installed for {{ updates_list }} actions_pre_restart: - service: notify.mobile_app_iphoneseb data: message: Updates done, restarting actions_pos_update: - service: notify.mobile_app_iphoneseb data: message: Updates completed for {{ updates_list }}

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Best, Sebastian

Your automation is set to backup before the updates, could y you please double check if you don't have a backup started around 03:00AM?
You can try increasing the time for the update. Now is only 30min, try increasing that to 3h, or so, and let me know the result.
Also, if you could take a look in your Logbook and filter for the past 24h for only the activity related to this automation, please share the results with me.

hi,
Thanks for looking into this. No, I don't have any other backup started at 3 am.
I increased the helper to 3h as recommended.

Here are the logs as requested:

In the logs, it seems like that is run at 3am. But why did it re-trigger at 3.30am, see my first screenshot?

I've just uploaded an updated version. Could you please try that one?
